Hillary Clinton's debate night is off to a rocky start with a typo

How embarrassing.

As the world prepares for the first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, beginning at 9 p.m. EST, things haven't begun so well for the democratic candidate.

As press, potential voters and Mark Cuban filed in to take their seats in the hotly anticipated event, many were struck by an unfortunate mistake on their tickets to admission.

Apparently, the ticket printer did not know how to spell Clinton's first name.

Whoops.

The ticket stub announces the admittance to watch the debate between Donald Trump and "Hilary Clinton." Clinton's name is, in fact, spelled with two Ls.

Sure, it's only a little goof-up, but when an estimated 100 million will watch the show, everything counts.

UPDATE: Sept. 26, 2016, 9:36 p.m. EDT --

It appears that the tickets with the misspelled tickets were souvenir tickets printed for 350 students who won tickets to attend the debate.
